Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier

Posted by michael on from the sweetness dept.

megas writes "Max Lyons has just posted on his site what seems to be the first 1 Gigapixel picture, created from 196 separate photographs taken with a 6 megapixel digital camera, and then stitched together into one seamless composite. According to Max, he has 'been unable to find any record of a higher resolution photographic (i.e. non-scientific) digital image that has been created without resizing a smaller, lower resolution image or using an interpolated image.'"

      hello anonymous coward... what's happening?

      uhhhhh... we got sort of a problem here... yeaah... you appearantly didn't put one of the new GNAA advertisements on your first post.

      mmmh... yeahh.. you see, we're putting the GNAA advertisements on all first posts now before they go out. did you see the memo about this?

      so if you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that would be great.

    That was probably one of the most nonsensical, off-topic, pointless Windows slams I've ever read on slashdot.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of harmless fun. Of course it's nonsensical, which is the appropriate mode for discussion of Windows. You're taking it way too seriously.
